Maine Red Claws Waive Magnum Rolle Due to Knee Injury

Filed under: NBA D-League, Maine Red Claws

The NBA Development League's Maine Red Claws announced today that they have waived NBA call-up candidate Magnum Rolle due to a knee injury which will sideline the 6-foot-11 big man "indefinitely."

Rolle, the 51st pick in this year's NBA Draft, was acquired by the Red Claws with the third pick in this month's D-League Draft after performing very well for the Indiana Pacers during the Orlando Pro Summer League. In five games, Rolle averaged 13.4 points, seven rebounds and two blocks while shooting 57 percent from the field in five starts as a rookie out of Louisiana Tech.

The Bahamian's performance in Orlando earned him a spot with the Pacers this preseason, but unfortunately became a victim of circumstance as Indiana decided that it simply couldn't eat Solomon Jones guaranteed contract and therefore had no decision but to waive Rolle's non-guaranteed deal.
